The Larkburger is not really a mail-friendly kind of food. (Provided by Larkburger)

About a year ago, I was eating with a friend at Larkburger downtown (on California right off the 16th Street Mall). This dude in a plaid shirt came up to our table and asked us how we were doing (I assumed he was the manager). I noticed another guy snickering in the background but didn’t think much of it. I also noticed he had his phone in his shirt pocket with the camera facing out, but didn’t think much of that. either. Then, the plaid-shirt guy said something like, “Glad everything’s ok here,” grabbed some fries off my tray and walked off. I swear he was filming the whole thing. It was weird and hilarious. I’ve always wondered if I’m on YouTube somewhere, and if he realized he stole the food editor’s French fries.

Anyway, the real news here is that now, you, too, have a chance to make a Larkburger video and win a big prize. The Colorado company says in a press release it gets “a lot of tweets from out-of-staters, many of whom are Colorado residents attending college elsewhere. Many of those tweets include requests for Larkburger to send burgers by mail.”

(I think those kids should stay in college and learn how the postal system works.)

But clever Larkburger has teamed up with Frontier Airlines for a contest they are calling “Craving Colorado.” Between April 22 and May 21, out-of-state college students can post a video explaining why they miss Colorado on Larkburger’s Facebook page (or post to Instagram and Twitter using #CravingColorado). The winner will receive a free meal at Larkburger, $300 toward a Frontier Airlines flight and more Colorado goodies.
